In this paper, The SSPA(Solid State Power Amplifier) is 100 watts amplifier which is used with C-Band Satellite communication Up-Link frequency, 5.875 ∼6.425 GHz. SSPA requires more output power than is available from a single GaAs FET with result it is necessary to combine the output of many device. To achieve a high power, it is important to make a good N-way power divider which has a small different phase, good combining efficiency and high power handling capability. The reliability of Power GaAs FET decrease with increasing junction temperature, power amplifier in general dissipate amount of power. It is important to provide them with a heatsink and a temperature compensation circuit to dispose of the unwanted heat. To compensate temperature, Using PIN diode attenuator, it is enable to get a precision gain control. The output power of the SSPA is more than 100 watt with which the TWTA (Traveling-Wave Tube Amplifier) can be replaced. Each stage was measured by the Network analyzer PH8510C, Power meter Booton 42BD, The gain is more than 53 dB, flatness is less than 1.5 dB.

IGBTS are widely used for the industrial inverters in the mid power range at low voltage (440V$\~$660V) application. Advantageous features of the device are simple gate drive and high speed switching capability. Due to these advantages the application of IGBTS is enlarging into the high power application. However, to increase the power handling capacity at lower input voltage level, the current rating in each bridge arm must be enlarged. Therefore the parallel operation of IGBT devices is essentially needed. This paper describes the feasible parallel structures of the power circuit for the mid & the high power inverters and introduces the important design condition for the parallel operation of IGBT devices. To verify feasibility of the IGBT parallel operation, the feature of several IGBT devices (EUPEC, SEMIKRON's IGBT) are investigated and the power stacks are implemented and tested with these devices. The experimental results show the good characteristics for the parallel operation of IGBTS.

본 논문에서는 지상에서 시험 중에 발생한 X-대역 원통형 도파관 캐비티 필터의 방전을 소개하고, 원인 분석을 위하여 수행한 전자장 시뮬레이션 결과와 실제 운용궤도에서의 발생 가능성에 대하여 분석한 내용을 기술하였다. 전자장 시뮬레이션을 위하여 상용 툴(FEST3D)을 이용하여 필터를 모델링하고 대역폭 안팎의 주파수 신호(1 W Continuous Wave)를 입력하면서 필터 내부의 전계를 살펴보았다. 이 결과, 대역폭 중심보다는 가장자리(band edge) 주파수 신호가 입력되었을 때 필터 내부의 튜닝 스크류에서 더 강한 전계가 형성되는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 방전 임계 전력을 산출하여 필터에 실제 입력된 전력과 비교해 본 바, 방전 임계값을 초과하는 전력이 필터에 입력되었고 이에 따라 강한 전계가 발생하고 온도가 급격히 상승하여 전기적인 단락으로 이어진 것으로 파악되었다. 추가적인 분석 결과 이 방전은 실제 운용궤도에서는 발생할 가능성이 낮고, band edge 주파수가 필터에 입력되더라도 멀티팩터(multipactor) 현상은 일어나지 않을 것으로 예측되었다. 지상에서 일어날 수 있는 마이크로파 방전에 대한 대책으로서 band edge 신호 입력을 피하거나 전력 레벨을 낮게 입력하는 방법을 제안하였다.

The Electric Power Subsystem (EPS) is one of the most critical systems on any satellite because nearly every subsystem requires power. This makes the choice of power systems the most important task facing satellite designers. The main purpose of the Satellite EPS is to provide continuous, regulated and conditioned power to all the satellite subsystems. It has to withstand radiation, thermal cycling and vacuums in hostile space environments, as well as subsystem degradation over time. The EPS power characteristics are determined by both the parameters of the system itself and by the satellite orbit. After satellite separation from the launch vehicle (LV) to its orbit, in almost all situations, the satellite subsystems (attitude determination and control, communication and onboard computer and data handling (OBC&DH)), take their needed power from a storage battery (SB) and solar arrays (SA) besides the consumed power in the EPS management device. At this point (separation point, detumbling mode), the satellite's angular motion is high and the orientation of the solar arrays, with respect to the Sun, will change in a non-uniform way, so the amount of power generated by the solar arrays will be affected. The objective of this research is to select satellite EPS component types, to estimate solar array illumination parameters and to determine the efficiency of solar arrays during both detumbling and normal operation modes.

In this paper, a novel unequal broadband out-of-phase power divider (PD) is presented. Double-sided parallel-strip lines (DSPSLs) are employed to achieve an out-of-phase response. Also, an asymmetric dual-band matching structure with two external isolation resistors is utilized to obtain arbitrary unequal power division, in which the resistors are directly grounded for heat sinking. A through ground via (TGV), connecting the top and bottom sides of the DSPSLs, is used to short the isolation components. Additionally, this property can efficiently improve the broadband matching and isolation bandwidths. To investigate the proposed divider in detail, a set of design equations are derived based on the circuit theory and transmission line theory. The theoretical analysis shows that broadband responses can be obtained as proper frequency ratios are adopted. To verify the proposed concept, a sample divider with a power division of 2:1 is demonstrated. The measured results exhibit a broad bandwidth from 1.19 GHz to 2.19 GHz (59.2%) with a return loss better than 10 dB and port isolation of 18 dB.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing or OFDM is a form of multi-carrier modulation technique. High spectral efficiency, robustness to channel fading, immunity to impulse interference, uniform average spectral density, capability of handling very strong echoes and less on linear distortion are among the favorite properties of OFDM. Even though there are many advantages of OFDM, t has two main drawbacks: high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) and frequency of offset. In this paper, the issue of PAPR in OFDM is discussed. A new algorithm is proposed to reduce PAPR by selecting the input sequences property using a lookup table.

본 연구에서는 고 전력의 RF 신호용 직접 접촉식 스위치에서 문제가 되고 있는 접촉부위에서의 미소용접에 의한 점착 현상을 감소시키기 위해, 고 융점 금속인 텅스텐(W)과 몰리브덴(Mo)을 스위치 접촉 부위에 코팅하여 스위치의 성능을 분석하였다. 스위치의 삽입손실과 신호격리도, 전력 손실 등의 변화를 네트워크 분석기, 전력 측정기 등을 통하여 측정하였다. 측정결과로부터 RF 신호 전송에 있어서 낮은 입력 전력에서는 고융점 금속이 금(Au)보다 접촉저항이 더 크지만 입력 전력이 커지면 비교적 낮은 비저항의 고융점 금속을 사용하는 것이 고전력 전송 및 수명 연장에 있어서 유리함을 밝혀냈다.

The microwave heating system of KSTAR consists of ECH and LHCD. ECH and LHCD offer the benefits ofa reliable operation at the start of plasma formation and a non-inductive current drive durable steady state operation, respectively. LHCD uses a C-band microwave system with a frequency of 5 GHz. A pulsed power modulator with a power of 3.6 MW, $4{\mu}S$, 200 pps is required to drive the high-powered magnetron.

Microsystems create new opportunities for conventional cell analysis by combining microfluidics and flow cytometry. This article describes recent developments in conventional flow cytometers and related microfluidic flow cytometers to detect, analyze, and sort cells or particles. Flow cytometry strongly consisted of fluidics, optics and electronics requires a large space to equip various components, which are mostly the fluidic components such as compressor, fluid handling system. Adopting microfluidics into flow cytometry enables volume- and power-efficient, inexpensive and flexible analysis of particulate samples. In this paper, we review various efforts that take advantage of novel techniques to build microfluidic cell analysis systems with high-speed analytical capability. Highly integrated microfluidic cytometry shows great promise for basic biomedical and pharmaceutical research, and robust and portable point-of-care devices could be used in clinical settings.
